The universities don't want reality to intrude upon their narrative but something tells me that east Asian people aren't going to accept being penalized in something like college admissions because white people enslaved black people in America 150 years ago.
For a bit of history, white people forced the Chinese to legalize drugs (likely contributing heavily to their ultra-conservative culture today), nuked Japan and the Korean war is only officially ending maybe some time this year but they somehow need to be penalized in school admissions. Meanwhile, some other groups need handicaps to compensate for increasingly obscure wrongs that happened in the distant past. If the belief that east Asians are "boring model students" who subtly lack potential is true, the way you actualize these differences in potential can only be by allowing people to build social infrastructure and families (that tradition thing), not by trying to force east Asians down to the same level in some machine as very different kinds of people. Just my humble opinion!
The Harvard University admissions process appears to be an ongoing micro-aggression against Asian-Americans.
A group called Students for Fair Admissions is suing the school for alleged racial discrimination and has filed documents in federal court making a persuasive case, based on data provided by the school.
Harvard denies it, but one of the imperatives of the affirmative action regime in college admissions is that schools never admit what they are doing.
The great and good at Harvard will insist that Asian-Americans all be called by their preferred pronouns, but they won’t afford them equal treatment in the admissions process. They will upbraid anyone daring to ask an Asian-American where he is from, but will, in effect, hold his ethnic background against him.
And they will do it by relying on the stereotype of Asian-Americans as dull, unrelatable “model students.”
According to the analysis of Duke University economist Peter Arcidiacono, an expert for the plaintiffs, an Asian-American applicant who is a male, not economically disadvantaged, and has, based on his other characteristics, a 25 percent chance of getting in, would see his odds markedly increase if he belonged to another group. His chances of admission would be 36 percent if he were white; 77 percent if he were Hispanic; and 95 percent if he were black.
